Author: Whole Shenanigans
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Soak Time: 12 hours
Total: 13 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried black beans
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil (for the pan)
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 4-5 cups water (enough to cover)
  • 1+ cups chicken or beef bone broth (optional to replace part of the water)

Instructions

  • Place black beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak overnight. Drain and rinse.
  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Add the oregano and salt to the onions. Pour in just enough water to fully cover the onions, then use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth.
  • Add the soaked beans to the pot, then pour in the remaining water (and bone broth, if using) so the beans are fully covered.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 1 hour, or until the beans are soft.
  • Use the immersion blender again to blend the beans to your desired consistency. I blend them mostly smooth with a few chunks.
  • Taste and adjust salt as needed. If the beans are too thick, add a little more water or broth to thin before serving.
